No territories were in the way, and when I tried to reinforce to territories adjacent to Egypt from Pakistan, I got the "Illegal Reinforcement" message. And just so you know, I am using the Unlimited Fortification Setting.

EDIT: I suppose I should add that I'm having this problem in game 3807601.

I think perhaps you should play more than 30 times on it before suggesting its revamp...ive played it 740ish timesIt has one minor error with click maps in africa...but other than that, its the epitome of world domination

If there arent copyright issues...keep it the way it is, and many have grown to love....

because people will leave if it does - People left because classic was practically removedpeople will never ever stop complaining - People willits perfect as is - Except for the fact that the graphics are not as good as most new mapsits the most fair map on the site - Game play would probably not changeits a map of the world on a world domination game - That wouldn't change (See above)no one but yourself wants it changed - ZiM agrees that the graphics on the site have improvedthe change is being requested for trivial reasons - Graphics should be updated to keep the quality of the maps at its current level

A few things are not very clear, is New Zealand (because of the color) part of East Indies? And if it is, (again because of the color) East Indies has 9 terrritories (or 10, is Hawaii because of the color part of the East Indies?)! If East Indies has 9 (or 10) territories and still worth only 4 troops, how come Russia with only 5 territories is worth 4 troops? Furthermore, the African Horn (4 territories) is worth 3 troops while Australia (with 4 territories?!) is worth only 2?? And in La Plata is Tierra del Fuego part of La Plata? And Chile i suppose is part of nothing (i mean of bonus)??

I know i have a lot of questions, but since i am a noob who has been playing non-stop for the past 3 days, i believe that my doubts might be shared by a lot of people who hasn't memorized what is what in the map!!

This is a little frustrating. While in game 4146710 i attempted to reinforce my partners troops with some of my troops from Pakistan. I'm the yellow. Partner is blue. .Game would only allow me to transfer to adjacent Iran. I wanted to move troops to Yeman. Game setting is "Unlimited."This is my first doubles game but I think I know what to do. Am I missing something? Is it me or the game?

Since its a FOW game, no one else can see what's going on. So, it might be a border issue, or not being able to fort through your partner.

If you look at my game history, you can tell I LOVE World 2.1, and I also love the dymanics and layout of this map. I would love to play it and see it being played. I think that the updates to Australia make it a bit more desirable. Hope to see it soon on game finder!

You might have found most of this out by now but anyway.

No, New Zeeland is a part of the Oceania bonus but not of the East Indies bonus. It might be somewhat confusing with the double levels of continent bonuses but IMO the colours and the legend are quite clear.

East Indies contains 6 territories (with 2 that only borders internally with other EI territs) and Russia contains 5 that all borders with other continents.

I love this map! it's my favorite. One thing I would change is putting in eastern Pakistan or Bangladesh because when the British did the India split, they had some Pakistan on the west of India, and some Pakistan on the east of India, with a segment of India's land in between the two Pakistan portions. It would be hilarious putting this into the map. If a world map 2.2 is ever made, this should be done or putting in Bangladesh should be done.

I'm not sure how the game mechanics act, or what flexibility there is, but is there any thought in World 2.2 where a player going in a position other than 1st gets some sort of "offset bonus." What I'm seeing is that by default, if you go 2nd in a 2 person game, as long as you're not playing an idiot, your territory bonus is going to yield 1 fewer troops, guaranteed. In a 3 person game, I see the same thing happen, but since there are 2 other people, even in 3rd you sometime keep enough to get 12 troops.

In addition, unless it is a completely even drop (which almost NEVER happens), whomever goes first really defines the game. If they're only 1 territory away from 2 small bonuses, respectively, or even 2 territories away from a larger bonus, once they secure it, it FORCES the 2nd player (in a 2 person game) to attack and try to take the bonuses away. If player 2 doesn't do so, not only are they in a small deficit from the loss of that initial troop in round 1, should they try to secure their own bonus(es), they are digging an even deeper whole, as the 1st player can now act with the bonuses already held. Player 1 (who now has an extra troop from round 1 and whatever bonus[es] they earned, assuming player 2 focuses on their own bonuses), can now focus on taking away the bonus(es) of player 2 or securing more of their own.

Again, I don't know if there's a way to work with the game mechanics, but this is my favorite map by far, but it puts player 2 in a 2 person game in a rather significant hole in about 80% of the games I've seen. I know that this could be said of virtually any other map, based on the randomness of the drop, but it seems that due to the larger number of troops received immediately, it manifests itself much more in World 2.1.
